Chimera Crusader: Defender of Dominicus
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
King Dominicus orders his top Paladin to slay the terrible Chimera. But it's going to take some grinding. They'll have to build up strength by slaying everything else in their path. It's about as minimal as an RPG can get.
Here are some tips (since there's no manual):
- Defeat the Golem to unlock the Valley.
- Look around for secret areas.
- Some enemies are extremely difficult until you maim a particular part of their body.
- Save often!
This is a much-needed remake of MansterSoft's second game "Paladin's Quest". The original can still be downloaded on the MansterSoft website (you'll need DOSBox to run it).

This game is fun if you enjoy grundy games and nice ascii art style.
I love everything about the visuals, though I have not played the game. Great work.
I got the bronze axe! I do wish there was a way to "run" from encounters... I accidentally wandered into the mountains and regretted it.
Thanks for playing! That's a good point. I didn't want a player to be able to ditch an encounter if they were losing a battle, but giving the player the option to run before they attack would be a good feature. Maybe some day I'll revise the game.
